Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Sales Hit Major Landmark

Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Surpasses 200,000 Units Sold, Proving a Resurgence for the Classic Action Title

Released late last year, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP has exceeded expectations, recently surpassing 200,000 units sold. This achievement comes despite initial launch challenges including technical issues and controversy surrounding content changes. The strong sales figures demonstrate significant player demand for the game.

Developed by Dragami Games (the original was by Grasshopper Manufacture, known for the No More Heroes series), RePOP is a revitalized version of the action-packed hack-and-slash title. While the original developer didn't helm the remaster, Dragami Games delivered a visually enhanced experience with improved quality-of-life features.

The game's success, reported several months after its September 2024 launch across current and last-gen consoles, and PC, was announced via a tweet from Dragami Games.

Celebrating Success: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP's Triumph

Lollipop Chainsaw places players in the role of Juliet Starling, a cheerleader battling a zombie horde with a chainsaw. The game's fast-paced, stylish combat draws comparisons to titles like Bayonetta. Juliet's quest to uncover her family's zombie-hunting legacy forms the core narrative.

The original 2012 release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 achieved even greater success, selling over one million copies. This initial success was likely fueled by the unique collaboration between renowned game designer Goichi Suda and James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy director), who contributed to the game's compelling storyline.

While future plans, including potential DLC or a sequel, remain unannounced, the strong sales of Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP signal a positive trend for remasters of cult classic games. This success follows the recent release of another Grasshopper Manufacture title, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, further highlighting the renewed interest in these titles.
